Syncing sharepoint root folder without syncing subfolders.

I have Sharepoint (and team) set up for different project folders (channels). Related thread.

How it looks on Teams:

Team Name

Chanel/Project Name 1

Chanel/Project Name 2

Chanel/Project Name 3

Chanel/Project Name 4

Chanel/Project Name 5

Chanel/Project Name 6

Chanel/Project Name 7

Chanel/Project Name 8

...

If I "sync" the root library to OneDrive, it brings in all subfolders and I have to "uncheck" each newly added folder. It looks something like this on my local computer (if I don't "hide" the extra folders).

C: Company Sharepoint OneDrive

Other SP directory 1 - Documents

Other SP directory 2 - Documents

Team Name - Documents

Project Name 1

Project Name 2

Project Name 3

Project Name 4

Project Name 5

Project Name 6

Project Name 7

Project Name 8

...

I'm only on certain project teams and only want to sync those project files. If I "sync" within those relevant folders, it creates new folder directories in our company onedrive/sharepoint directory like this folder structure below. It adds way too many folders in the "main" directory, especially if I'm on hundreds of projects.

C: Company Sharepoint OneDrive

Other SP directory 1 - Documents

Other SP directory 2 - Documents

Team Name - Project Name 3

Team Name - Project Name 5

Team Name - Project Name 6

...

I'd like to be able to have the root directory without bringing in extra subfolders. I'd like it to only sync subfolders where I manually hit the "Sync" for. I'd like the file structure to show up like below.

C: Company Sharepoint OneDrive

Other SP directory 1 - Documents

Other SP directory 2 - Documents

Team Name - Documents

Project Name 3

Project Name 5

Project Name 6

...

Is there a way to accomplish this either natively or some type of automation?

Note, I've tried private or shared teams channel, this does not solve the problem as it these channels actually create completely entirely new Sharepoint sites and entirely new libraries. I've also seen the suggestion to use the "Add shortcut" method but this creates shortcuts within the OneDrive directory, not a locally synced folder within Sharepoint.

I know a tedious work-around would be to uncheck folder visibility (in OneDrive folder settings), but it would need to be done every time a new project folder is created that I'm not a part of. Note, I am an O365 admin in my organization. I use "I" for my examples, but this is be applicable for everyone in my organization.

Thank you in advanced.
